But the media try and give the government credit for it... A controversial Islamic group tonight abandoned plans for an anti-war march through a town where processions for dead British soldiers are held.
Islam4UK provoked anger with a scheme to march through Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire, prompting MPs to urge local authorities and the Home Secretary to step in.
A statement from leader of the group Anjem Choudary said the group had "successfully highlighted the plight of Muslims in Afghanistan".
He went on: "We at Islam4UK have decided, after consultation with others including our Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad, that no more could be achieved even if a procession were to take place in Wootton Bassett and in light of this we would like to announce today that there will no longer be a procession through this market town."
